Educational Q&A

Cruelty toward the blameless is a clear mark of adharma. The verse frames Duryodhana’s conduct as repeatedly unethical, emphasizing that moral fault lies with the aggressor’s intention and actions, not with the innocent who endure them.

Vāyu speaks to a respected person (addressed as mānada), pointing out that Duryodhana—described as evil-minded—has long committed many harsh acts against them, despite their being without wrongdoing.
